5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a History of the Deaf... Check this book out!!!, January 11, 1998

By A Customer

Jack Gannon's book Deaf Heritage is an excellent rescource book for any student studying Deaf education. It portrays many aspects of the Deaf community throughout history including education, arts and controversies in communication methods. The only downfall is that it was published in the early 1980's so it is not quite up to date but it is still a wonderful historical rescource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Big Stars!, September 1, 2003

By	Deaf Writer "deafwriter" (Grand Rapids, MI United States) - See all my reviews

When this book arrived at my house and I opened to see its contents, I immediately began to gulp down everything I could! This book is awesome! If you're hearing and you want to learn about Deaf heritage and history, this is a MUST read! If you're DEAF (as I am) and you want fascinating facts and humor that can make you laugh so hard that you cry, this book should not be passed over. My only disappointment is that it only goes to 1980. I hope there will be another edition made to bring it up to date. Don't miss this one! It's well worth your time and money! :vD
